Even for what exactly, getting beat straight up? Did I miss a t-bone, take-out or even contact at one of the rounds this year.
How dare you mention Hannah or Howerton
I really don't know much about this stuff & I'm not aware of Bam Bam putting' the moves on anyone...especially at Dallas or Atlanta.
I'm a poser wannabe & I don't even watch these races; because, it's just SO dangerous.
Besides, I've never been to Saddleback; so, surely...I've never seen ANYONE run someone into the fence...
I think your mistaken Durham for Barcia, in Dallas, when Wharton was cleaned out.
As far as Atlanta the only moves I recall were Holeshots & more holeshots.
But, I mean hey,...moves are moves.
In the Bigs, Bammer WILL get parked if he pulls these Agro-moves on the front runners. Not everyone will take it like RD did.
But, I could be wrong.

I don't think he has done anything outright dirty so I don't think he'll get anything dirty coming his way.
He will certainly get a couple lessons......lol.
Difference about Justin is that he won't be bothered by it, that is how he races and he expects it right back.
and Durham deserves payback for people he... "just should've passed"

....and that was with a broken wrist and epstein barr. I can't wait until he is full time 450 !!
Barcia has been impressive at supercross this year so far- but can't see him beating roczen, wilson or baggett outdoors.
In my opinion the strength in depth is deeper in the lites (outdoors when they are all together) than it is in the 450s in the states. Obviously the top 3 or 4 are very fast in the big class (chad, dungey, RV etc) but after that theres a big drop off in pace. In the 'lites' outdoors this year you have roczen, marvin, wilson, baggett, tomac, bogle, seeley, barcia, wharton who will all be fast. I think barcia will struggle again outdoors in the 'lites' just like he did last year.
Add canard and pourcel to the mix in 2013 (probably) and the 450 class gets a little more interesting! For 2012 with chad and trey being injured- i cant see anyone challenging RV and RD- they will be a league of their own outdoors (thats assuming james doesnt turn up, which is a fair assumption given that he hasnt done the last few years!)
Also really hope ben townley is 100% if he has the team 22 ride for the outdoors and stays fit for a full season!
Also, I -AM- a fan...
I'm just a fan with a pretty damn good memory and I know how this kind of thing can play out...historically.
On a 450 I think he's got Red-Plate Potential and he IS "That Fast".
So, in review, if we're all gonna compare him to Hannah, well, let's simply remember that Hannah had to survive some "pay-backs", too.
Another interesting point, from my "perspective"...
I'm around this stuff quite a bit and I'm of the "opinion" that there's some kinda "Gentleman's Agreement" amongst the 450 guys that they AREN'T gonna Hit-n-Run on each-other. Yup, I said it, "Agreement"...
The nice thing?
I don't think Bam Bam is in on it & if he was...? I don't think he's "Having ANY of it".
He is REFRESHING and he may very-well be a "Next-Level" racer.
I hope he is.

Edit: I didn't read that right. Yeah he did win an overall against dungey in 2009 so did weimer does that mean weimer is gunna be the man? Obviously not.
As far as barcia beating wilson and baggett outdoors?! maybe in the odd moto- wilson and baggett pretty much owned barcia last year, same as RD and pourcel did in 09, and trey and pourcel in 2010. Barcia was way off the pace in outdoors last year in the 'lites' for most of the season
I agree with the last 2 sentences at least, the outdoors is going to be brilliant, I will be VERY surprised if barcia walks away with it though- I think wilson, roczen and baggett are all alot better outdoors than they are at supercross, marvin will be up there too. Barcia is a great supercross rider but has alot to prove yet outdoors in my opinion
And as far as roczen goes- I'm pretty sure he will have the pace outdoors, he is world champion! Supercross is a completely different ballgame (look at barcia- he's been the man to beat for 2 years in supercross and struggled outdoors)
Barcia is proving that he is the better rider in supercross at the moment (which he should be given the fact he has alot more supercross experience) but roczen in my opinion will be the better rider outdoors- look at baggett, outdoors he was untouchable at times last year, he's shown nothing like that in supercross yet. Same with wilson- much better outdoor rider
the outdoors this year in the lites class is going to be very very good! just hope all the contenders stay fit, itll be a good season for the fans!
